I don't mind research and the thrill of finding the deals, but I am trying to avoid having another "job."

The other tenant I’ve talked to via Facebook messenger multiple times, previous owner said that was the best way to get in touch with him, which I’m not thrilled about that as a communication tool, but I’m navigating that avenue as best I can with him.

If they only had a M2M agreement, this won't thrill them, but they should have realized it could go either way - that either of you could end it after just 30 days, with 30 days notice.If they had a year lease, they won't be thrilled either, but they can never then claim that you held them to a year lease, when they were encountering problems, etc.Whenever I invoked the "happy clause," my complainers usually were shocked, but then shut up and quit complaining.  

Then, the search will be on for the next rental property.The BP forums have been a great resource in the past and I'm thrilled to finally be saying 'hi'. :-)

In case you're interested, this is the tiny home flyer put out by the City of Fresno:  https://www.fresno.gov/darm/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Tiny-Homes-submittal-requirements.pdfAnd here's the ever-thrilling city development code document:  https://www.fresno.gov/darm/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Development_Code_September_2018.pdfThe above don't include the new laws regarding ADUs, which allow smaller set-backs, which are more simply explained here:  https://carlaef.org/adus/One thing I wondered about was whether or not this new law means that it's no longer required to build a garage as parking for the main dwelling, since the new law says you can convert a garage and a city can't require you to replace that parking. 

I wasn't thrilled about this so I asked if he could move the vehicle off the property. 

So, I asked her, why should I keep a complaining tenant who brought in half of what I could get from a new tenant who would be thrilled to get the apartment as-is?

I would be thrilled my tenants actually read the document they signed :)want to add that i try to keep my units in top shape...so a cracked window would get repaired/replaced... the spot on the carpet would get noted. 

Turned out there were thrilled to have me and my building as a resource for their students (we were within walking distance of the law school), because they were always short of student housing for law students. 

When I had some Class D rentals I was thrilled if they didn't flush concrete down the toilet and steal the HVAC unit.
